16. You decide to drop a penny off the top of the Willis Tower (fromerly the Sears Tower) in Chicago, IL. The height of the penny (in feet) can be represented by the equation h= -16t2 + 1451 where t is time (in seconds).
a) How long will it take for the penny to hit the ground? Show any work that leads to your answer.

9.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation that represents the height of the penny as a function of time is:

h(t) = -16*t^2 + 1451

Where the height is in ft, and the time is in seconds.

a) We want to know how long takes the penny to hit the ground.

Well, the penny will hit the ground when its height is equal to zero.

Then we need to solve for t:

h(t) = 0 = -16*t^2 + 1451

0 = -16*t^2 + 1451

16*t^2 = 1451

t^2 = 1451/16 = 90.7

t = √90.7 = 9.5

This means that it takes 9.5 seconds to hit the ground.

9.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:you subtract

x + 107

step-by-step explanation:

let's say that the number he had before the mistake was x. then, he will have 107 dollars more than this, so the answer is x + 107.
